Hey people, I want some opinions on whether I should cut or bulk.
I am 122lb and 5'3.
I went from 138lb to my current weight last year and decided to maintain by going to the gym 5-6 times a week and controlling my calories most of the time, but now I feel an urge to change.
As almost...

I’ve had persistent lower back pain since I was a kid. Some days/weeks it’s worse than others, but for the most part the pain is fairly consistent. It feels tight and a bit sensitive when I push down on either side or directly on my spine.
I went and had an MRI done a couple weeks ago to try to...

My gym has this new piece of kit for body analysis. Im pretty pleased with my progress so far and everything is nicely in the green, it shows me what I know, i.e that my legs need work, the muscles there are weakest and I store most fat there. I know that you can't target specific areas when it...

So, I need some guidance. I've always been going to the gym to lift and do cardio, following random things and workouts I see online and stuff. But I'm ready to make some actual progress.
I am 23 years old, 5'3, 133 lbs. I go to the gym at least 5x a week. I haven't really followed macros before...

Hi ladies
I'm 5 foot 6
I have Flabby thighs and stomach and own 4 bums.
I've dabbled in training before and have done so very regularly for the last 2 months.
I'm a novice with a training plan from my PT and take protein and creatine supplements.
I feel my strength has increased but...

I went up 3 pant sizes. I got down to a very low body fat. My boobs shrunk and got saggy. Now I am turned off completely from lifting. I have stopped. I am not getting slim enough/losing the muscle fast enough. Any tips on that? How can I get tight muscles instead of bulking? I heard about lower...

Hi, I'm really new to the bodybuilding world, but about 2-1/2 months ago, I started lifting. During that time I was in a cut. At the beginning I weighed 135 lbs, and 5' 5-1/2" in height, and now I'm down to 128 lbs. My goal is 120 lbs so my original plan was to cut for 2 more months. My body fat is...

Hey ladies!
I'm coming to the last few weeks of the 5x5 program and I'm looking for another one to start after this is over.
I have loved just focusing on the main lifts in this (squats, deadlifts, OHP, bench press and rows) and my strength has increased significantly and is still going...

Hi Ladies,
I don't usually post in here (obviously) but the other night I had a discussion with my brother and his wife about nutrition, etc, and working out, and something was said that made me think twice about a couple things I've taken as "gospel" with weight loss.
I was saying to them...

I am looking for some advice on a beginners routine for my girlfriend. She wants to lose weight primarily and has decided she wants to add in 2x per week weight sessions, but with the option to add a bit more if required. Im thinking upper A, lower A, upper B, lower B in rotation to keep a bit of...

Hi!
I'm planning to spend the next year preparing for an NPC figure comp, and I'm training to win. I want to make it to nationals, and I have a year to do it.
I am well-versed in training and proper dieting, but not in planning, prepping, and posing for a show.
(1) do you have tips about...

Hi, so Iâ€™m 23 and I started lifting just under 6 months ago now and am starting to become a little discouraged. In January before I started lifting I weighed a very tiny 85lbs (due to hyperthyroidism that stripped me of all my muscle.. literally!) and since then Iâ€™ve leaped upwards to where I sit...

Hey guys,
I was just looking at my training program and I started to wonder if it is any good at all? I mean yeah, it is good I guess, but I got kinda bored of it and I also don't think I got any dramatic results from it in the last 6 months or so. I am...

I'm in a rut. I get so bored at the gym. I don't have workout partners anymore and I'm really tired of my music. For some reason I'm just not into the actual workout like I used to be. And my gym is kind of crappy but I'm a student so the more expensive good gym isn't an option. I get out and hike...

Hi everyone, I'm just looking for a bit of advice from you lovely ladies. I started lifting weights and doing cardio 6 months ago. My available days for working out are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, Friday. Because of this I'm doing an upper/lower split rather than full body 3 x per week. I do...

Hi there,
I am very frustrated and was hoping someone out there might be able to shed some light on my issue. I have gained 2 kg in the last 3 weeks despite my training and diet staying the same. I eat a really clean diet, low carb high protein and moderate fats. I do 35-40 min cardio in the...

I've had 4 C-sections and am having a hard time getting rid of some belly fat. I'm back at my pre-pregnancy weight, but my tummy is not what it used to be. My typical workout that I do 5 days a week is 40-45 minutes running, 15-20 minutes on the elliptical, 60 bicep curls, 1 minute planking on my...
